Covers you for all the important stuff

We offer a choice of comprehensive car insurance plans. Here's a quick look at what our classic Prima plan covers...

If your car is damaged or stolen, we'll repair it, replace it or pay you its market value.

We'll keep you on the road while your own car is getting fixed by a Prima-approved repairer.

If your windows or windscreen need a repair or replacement, you'll just pay a small excess. We'll cover the rest.

If you or your partner are seriously hurt in an accident in your car, we'll pay £5,000 in accident support.

Keep your no claims bonus and get back your excess if you're hit by an uninsured driver.

For up to 90 days, you'll enjoy the same level of cover as at home when driving abroad in the EU and selected countries.

If your belongings are lost or damaged in an accident, fire of theft in your car, we'll pay up to £250.

If you're over 25 and eligible, you'll have third party cover to drive someone else's car.

Common questions

Find answers to things that drivers often ask us.

Yes. When you get a quote with us, you can personalise your cover and boost your protection, by adding on extras like:

  • Motor legal cover
  • RAC breakdown cover
  • Upgraded courtesy car cover

Some of our car insurance plans even have these add-ons bundled in. For example, our Prima Premier car insurance includes motor legal cover and breakdown cover.

We try to cover the important stuff. But with all our car insurance plans, you won’t be covered if:

  • Someone not named on your policy drives your car
  • You drive without a valid driving licence
  • You drive under the influence of drink or drugs
  • Your car’s left unlocked or with the keys inside
  • You fill up with the wrong fuel

For full details of what is and isn’t included with your cover, you should check your Policy Wording. You’ll see this document when you get a quote with us. We’ll also email you a copy once you’ve bought your policy.


All the car insurance cover plans we offer are fully comprehensive.

This means that you’re covered for damage to your car, as well as any damage to other people (“third parties”) or their property.

We don’t offer third-party only cover.

*10% of our new customers paid £254 or less for our Prima car insurance in January 2026.
